[Verse]

Am Am Dm Dm
G G
At first I was afraid, I was petrified
C C
I kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side
Cmaj7 Cmaj7 B7 B7
But then I spent so many nights just thinking how you've done me wrong
E E E7 E7
And I grew strong, I learned how to get along...


Am Am Dm Dm
And so you're back from outer space,
G G C C
I just walked in to find you here with that, that look upon your face,
F F B7 B7
I should have changed my freak en lock, I would have made you leave your key
E E E7 E7
If I’d have known for just one second you'd be back to bother me.


[Chorus]

Am Am Dm Dm G G C C
Oh now go, walk out the door, Just turn around now, you're not welcome anymore. F F B7 B7
Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire?
E E
Did you think I'd crumble?
E7 E7
Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Am Am Dm Dm G G
Oh not I, I will survive, Yeah, as long as I know how to love,
C C
I know I'll be alive.
F F B7 B7
I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give,
E E E7 E7
I will survive, I will survive, Yeah, yeah...


[Solo]


[Verse]

Am Am Dm Dm G G
It took all the strength I had just not to fall apart, I’m tryin' hard to
C C F F
mend the pieces of my broken heart, And I spent oh so many nights just
B7 B7 E E E7 E7
feelin' sorry for myself, I used to cry, But now I hold my head up high.

Am Am Dm Dm G G
And you’ll see me with somebody new, I'm not that stupid little person still
C C F F B7 B7
in love with you. And so you thought you’d just drop by and you expect me to
E E E7 E7
be free, But now I'm saving all my lovin' for someone who's lovin' me,


[Chorus]

Am Am Dm Dm G G C C
Oh now go, walk out the door, Just turn around now, you're not welcome
F F B7 B7
anymore. Weren't you the one who tried to break me with desire? Did you think
E E E7 E7
I'd crumble? Did you think I'd lay down and die?

Am Am Dm Dm G G C C
Oh not I, I will survive, Yeah, as long as I know how to love, I know I'll be
F F B7 B7
alive. I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give, I will
E E E7 E7
survive, I will survive, Yeah, yeah...
